Re: P-38 Pilot POW August 25th,1943
Hallo Carlos,
D'ont know the answer. However AN ESCORT OF P-38s by John D. Mullins states they lost two pilots, one missing and one POW. The POW was Lt. Marcel Williams who was apparently hit by flak over the target, baled out and was captured. Perhaps with the passage of time and too much alcohol Williams became Widen ?
None of the 82nd FG names seem a likely match. I don't have much on the 14th FG unfortunately, though it appears one of their two pilots was a Lt. Hester who was KIA.
Regards,
Martin Gleeson.
